Site History of the Website of Zachàr Laskewicz

19 April 2012 - Rubric Five - POETRY has now changed to 'WORD PLAY' to better express the work I do with language sculpture; it's been extended so I can include information about developments within languages that I've created and are still evolving with the creation of each new art work that uses it, as well as other areas of linguistic exploration with rhythm, sound and poetry.

18 April 2012 - New navigation bar for both the six main rubrics on this page as well as major pages; intended for use above when the frames are phased out and the larger navigation bar structuring every page will no longer be present.

15 April 2012 - First updated ART GALLERY with examples of my best designs and artworks. Rather than specifying them into different types, I've decided to make two broad categories; one for artworks of my own creation and the other for photos or illustrations specific to my activities. The gallery uploaded today is the former of the two. The DESIGNER page reachable through the menu on the frame to the left of the homepage has been adjusted accordingly.
